I would not touch a gun that was carried by father and son in two wars. I would write down that story and the names of the owners and save it for a future generation. Sometimes a sense of history skips a generation. Somewhere in Southwestern Ohio there is a pair of single action army revolvers in .44-40 that once belonged go my grandfather. They were used to pay off a debt by his widow. I would love to find them even though I could not possibly afford to buy them back without a bank loan.

I would cut the Brazilian gun if I wanted a modern Fitz.
